The Research of Service Network Based on Complex Network

At present the service science and engineering research are mainly focus on service discovery, service composition, service reputation and other key technical of the service computing. However the basic theory of service science, in particular, the basic principle of service and the evolution mechanism of service network only have some preliminary of research and exploration. The atomic services as the network nodes and the relationships of services combination as the network edges constitute the service network based services provision environment. This paper researched the basic characteristics of services and service networks, and proposed a new research method to explore the service network's "small world", "scale-free" characteristics and service network topology, based on the theory of complex network and existing networked software research works. It presents a new research perspective and methods for the service science and engineering research.
